βοΈ Scissor skills start before the scissors! βοΈ
If your child struggles with cutting, start with tongs or other fine motor activities first. This builds the hand strength and coordination they need. πͺπΌβ¨
Pro tip: Place a sticker on their thumb so they remember to keep it on top while cutting. ππΌ
Learning new skills takes time, repetition, and a patient guide (thatβs you! π).
Try using short, sturdy pieces of cardboard to help little hands get the hang of it.
